Mission
To make the world better for us all by providing high-quality, high-capacity filters/micro refineries for the recycling of oils, lubricants, and other liquids.
The future looks bright for this enterprise for many reasons: The basic filter/micro refinery design is truly novel. It is expected to merit strong patent rights in the USA and abroad. The small-scale filtering of WVO and WMO is only the start. Much research tells us that this same filter/micro refinery design will make possible the reuse of a very large portion of the gray, and possibly black, water from homes and many businesses and institutions. Further, it is expected to help provide potable water for parts of the world population who have never had clean water. And there’s more to come.
Recycling is a major focus of our operations. Our filters/micro refinery are made mostly from recycled materials and can be
cleaned and refurbished for further use. Our vegetable oil filter cartridges can be composted or burned as a fire log**.
Promoting and supporting our community, we are American owned and operated. We are also American assembled with 90% of our materials being made in America. We are always striving to be completely American made by searching for partners and suppliers that are 100% American produced.
Our goal is also to be mindful of the environment. Along with the recycling efforts of production, our products greatly help the environment. By reducing waste oils in our streams, soils, and landfills. By eliminating waste oils in our sewer systems and rain water systems, which lowers the facility cost of cleaning, flash flooding, and rodent population. If waste oils are used as an alternative fuel source….large reductions in sulfur emissions, carbon dioxide emissions and black diesel smoke can be obtained. And finally, reducing our dependence on, and our use of, fossil fuels.
** Use as a fire log at your on risk. Contents of recycled waste oils is unknown.
History
We have a neighbor, a race car engineer, who has for several years converted diesel vehicles to run on waste vegetable oil. He had a few dozen cubitainers, some open to the weather, of ugly, old, hopelessly contaminated oil by his shop awaiting disposal. Much of it looked like a dirty caramel milkshake! One day in July of 2008 he was pumping oil into our diesel Mercedes Benz when his filter failed and before we caught it, a few gallons of dirty oil was pumped into our tank – which promptly clogged all our filters & lines resulting in the need to remove the tank for cleaning. In a flash of inspiration I told him I would design a filter that would “eat” all the nasty old oil he had and turn it into fuel. He laughed! Two weeks later, on August 8th, I got to laugh when we installed the first prototype filter and he remarked at what came out: “That’s pure Gold. It looks good enough to eat!” We pumped it into his cars and they ran beautifully. After making about 160 gallons of that old hopelessly contaminated oil into great fuel, that filter finally clogged. Installing the replacement, I showed him how the prototype was made and how virtually every bit of filter volume, not just surface, was packed with trapped contaminants. He laughed again when he realized that it is Green , too. I used all recycled natural components and that the spent filter could be burned as fuel or composted in his garden. He was able to clean & use almost all that contaminated oil.
I began the long process of testing (including for WMO recycling) and refining the filter design. Now, after 18 months and many, many tests and improvements, and thousands of gallons of fuel, the Green Gold Filter is ready for you.
The future looks bright for this enterprise for many reasons: The basic filter design is truly novel. The small-scale filtering of WVO and WMO is only the start. Much research tells us that this same filter design will make possible the reuse of a very large portion of the gray, and possibly black, water from homes and many businesses and institutions. Further, it is expected to help provide potable water for parts of the world population who have never had clean water. …And there’s more to come.
Congratulations and Thank You for being a part of this exciting project… May it help to make a better world for us all.
Best Wishes,
